It’s worth mentioning that Thompson Safety was initially intended to, and for a while was, a customer experience prioritizing company. Culture was strong, compensation was fair, customers were thrilled. Over the last 3-4 years, they’ve undergone what I believe to be the most detrimental changes this company could have made. 1. Commission plan reduction for sales and service teams. Thompson pays its employees less money than it did 5 years ago - why? This is simultaneously introduced at the exact same time as customers are receiving regular price increases. Thompson makes more, employees make less? Why?
I encourage any individual who is prospecting a career with Thompson Safety to pay close attention to the truly egregious turnover. All markets, all levels of the chain. Entire sales teams turning over every 12 months - equity holding GM positions turning over in less than a year in some cases - C-Suite executives selling equity and leaving the company. Backfilling vacant leadership roles with individuals who truly aren’t suited for the role, in an attempt to make the turnover tenure look as best as they can. Please ask questions to uncover these red flags, and know that these are signs that indicate a downward trending future at this company. It is NOT normal to experience turnover at this level, and especially abnormal to experience high level management, and officer level turnover of such an extreme.
